Sōfuku-ji, Buddhist temple in Nagasaki, Japan
The temple grounds contain multiple halls and structures, including the Daiippomon gate and Daiohoden, surrounded by stone walls and traditional vegetation.
Established in 1629 by Chinese monk Chaonian, the temple served the Chinese community during a period of increased maritime trade with European nations.
The temple incorporates architectural elements of the Obaku school of Zen Buddhism, featuring Chinese-style railings, half-doors, and detailed polychrome decorations.
Visitors can access the temple daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM through the Sofukuji tram stop, with an entrance fee of 300 yen.
The Daiohoden hall preserves a Shakyamuni Buddha statue containing an internal organ made of silver and cloth, discovered during renovations in 1935.
